Answer:

1/16

Step-by-step explanation:

so, per your additional information the "spinner" has 4 possible results : 5, 4, 3 ,2

I guess, they are like the six numbers on a die equally probable.

that means the probabilty to get one of the 4 possible answers is 1/4 (desired outcomes over all possible outcomes).

now, to make the experiment twice and link the results as one desired outcome (like a 5 and a 2, or two 4s, or ...), we can multiply the probabilities as combined events without overlapping.

why ?

similar to a die with 6 possible results, we have here for every one of the 4 possible results of the first spin, we have 4 possible results of the second spin.

so, the probability of one particular set of 2 results is

1/4 × 1/4 = 1/16

in other words, it is 1/4 to get 5 on the second spin, and 1/4 to get 2 on the second spin. because we want both to happen as one desired result, both events have to happen as combination (and not as "or"). hence the multiplication.

Answer:

1/16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in comment:

5,4,3,2 = Spinner

Thus, there are 4 possible answer

Given:

If you spin the spinner twice, what is the probability that the spinner will land on 5 on the first spin and 2 on the second spin?

1/16

3/16

1/8

1/4

Solve:

Knowing that there only <u>One 5 and One 2 on the spinner.</u>

Thus, in fraction form - 1/4 and 1/4

Probability land on 5 = 1/4

Probability land on 2 = 1/4

Because there are 4 possible solution and one of each is 5,4,3,2

Now, multiply then together:

1/4 × 1/4 = {1 ×1 = 1 and 4 × 4 = 16}

Put Together:

1/16

Hence, the answer is " The Probability that the spinner will land on 5 on the first spin and 2 on the second spin is 1/16

How do you solve this? My algebra 2 teacher taught it to us in class but it still confuses me! Thank you!

\bf \cfrac{\frac{1}{8}-\frac{1}{2x}}{\frac{1}{12x}-\frac{1}{3x^2}} \begin{array}{llll} \leftarrow \textit{our LCD here will just be }8x\\[0.9em] \leftarrow \textit{our LCD down here will be }12x^2 \end{array}
